Taken from Ohio Dept of Education Mathematics Model Curriculum 6-28-2022

Real-world and mathematical multi-step problems that require finding area, perimeter, volume, surface area of figures composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes and right prisms should reflect situations relevant to seventh graders. The computations should make use of formulas and involve whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios and various units of measure with same system conversions.

Assessment:
Product:
ZOO TRAINER project continues:
The stable, feed storage area, and its flat ceiling is to be stained with a special stain.
  • Determine the surface area to be stained. Prepare detail documentation of your calculations.
  • Each can of stain covers 200⅔ square feet. How many can should be ordered? Prepare detail documentation of your calculations.

Key Questions
  • What is a net?
  • How do net help with determining surface area?

Observable Student Behaviors (Performance)
  • The student can find surface area of prisms.

Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

SMART Board Lessons, Promethean Lessons
  • 7.G. 6 Circumference, Volume, Surface Area
Students will practice finding the Circumference, Volume, and Surface Area of given shapes/figures
  • 7.G. 6 Surface Area of Prisms
This lesson will help the students with the formula for lateral area of a prism
  • 7.G. 6 Should I Cover It Up…Or Go Around It?
While looking at geometric shapes in sports, students wll determine whether to find the area or the perimeter for each problem set before them. I have included a football field and a basketball court for challenges. Some sildes require more higher level of learning and more challenging Bloom's Taxonomy questions.
  • 7.G. 6 Measurement Part 1: Area
This lesson activity provides introduces and provides practice in calculating the area of various shapes.
